Gumstix alternative


hi, im not sure if this is the right board, but i was just wondering, is there an alternative to gumstix SBCs?(http://gumstix.com). It just seems like they dont have the stuff in stock that i need.

main features i need:
low power consumption
small size
runs embedded linux, maybe uCLinux..
has some kind of gpio ability
LOW PRICE

well....just about everything a gumstix system provides, but more availiable, with maybe a UK distributor(probably dreamin there).

Any suggestions??


BTW: this is not a gumstix ad.

Note: I fixed your URL.

It sounds like these gumstix do exactly what you want -- why not just buy one?
